Very simple ... I believe that the system or some program you are running is
trying to read from /netbsd if the kernel you booted off of is not /netbsd
but /netbsd.mine youll see error like this. best to rename you _OLD_ kernel
/netbsd to /netbsd.old and copy over your new one to /netbsd and you shall
not have these problems :)
